Typing all in CAPS makes your message hard to read.

That error message is generally a driver or a program failing to release memory when shutting down.

Have you scanned the system for viri, worms and malware?

What hot fixes are on the box? There are several post SP4 fixes.

Are any applications runnign when the system is beign shut down?
